June 6, 2002 - Buffy began as a small-time movie that did moderately well in theatres. There was enough of a cult following to spawn a television series which has become immensely popular. Devoted fans have been dying to see their favorite slayer in her own video game. Thanks to the kind folks at EA, that wish becomes reality this July. Earlier versions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were, well, hideous. So when EA invited me to spend a few hours with the game at their headquarters, I was a little reluctant. Fear not faithful Buffites, the game's seen a major overhaul and will be quite a delight for action fans.

May 22, 2002 - Electronic Arts' booth is almost always the loudest, craziest booth at the show. Sporting a massive jumbotron that spills its vibrant message down on the worshipful denizens below, it is truly a sight to behold. This year is no different.

January 16, 2002 - Due this fall, Fox's new game enables gamers to play the blonde nymphet Buffy Summers from the third-person perspective (a la Mario, Tomb Raider, Xena), and provides them with many of the same elements inherent in the TV show. High school cheerleader by day and "the chosen one" by night, Buffy will enable her fans will get to interact with her friends and foes (Angel, Cordelia, Giles, Willow, Oz, and Xander) and use her various abilities, from deadly slaying powers to quick heals to lambasting foes with her unique version of martial arts skills.

August 31, 2001 - Hopefully you already know that Sarah Michelle Gellar will be making her Xbox debut in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Collective's horror-action game based on the television show of the same name.
